Dancing with the Future Stars

Catie has been taking Ballroom Dance lessons since last March. At first she was learning basic moves and technique in formation classes. One of her goals was to be able to compete. So, in September the studio owner paired her with a male partner Catie's age, a boy named Aaron. In preparation for the first big dance competition the studio organized an exhibition at a local nursing home. This gave the kids a chance to dance in front of about 100 senior citizens who loved the chance to watch you people dancing to elegant music wearing beautiful costumes. The kids got valuable experience of dancing in front of a large audience. Catie and Aaron did a great job and are now even more excited about their first big competition next month.
